For Sailfish OS 3.0.3.9 NFC support is announced. The release notes state it is preliminary, whatever that means. I'm curious how to test and use this feature with my Xperia XA2. The first try with installing an Android app called NFC-Tools failed. It displays an error message, that it can't find a NFC device. Are there any working Android apps or better yet, native apps?
Any thoughts?
Regards

The current NFC implementation supports only NFC tags that contain an URL (according to this blog post).
So to test this new feature you have to
I successfully tested this with an NFC tag and it is working as expected. :)
@Alex I don't know if this is the best method... but i used the NXP TagWriter app on a Android device i have for work. So when i read the tag with that it says "Type MIFARE Tag" and "716 bytes". If i go to edit dataset and press the pen in the content field, i can see that the tag's optional title is left blank, the type is "http://www" and then the rest of the address. Any info on what constitutes a supported tag is appreciated. Also it just occurred to me i haven't tried this on Sailfish, i just assumed it won't work, and Yalp store is borked right now so i can't test.

I tried with 2 type of old NFC tags, written with Nokia N9 Tag Writer app, and the XA2 Plus is not working. As backup I downloaded the Android app NFC tool, but I get an error like NO NFC :-(
One more time, the N9 from 2011 was better... Hoping that Jolla will fix / implement for real the NFC in next update!

Is NFC supposed to show a dialog or something even if its not a URL in the tag or something. Tested a device with a debit card and while it vibrated it shows no dialog.
Is this normal???
